TechnographCommittee hears objection to Calabrese candidacy
By Paolo Cisneros
Posted: 4/22/08 Section: News
The Champaign County Officers Electoral Board heard the objections to Frank Calabrese's candidacy for state representative for the 103 district Tuesday morning at the Champaign County Courthouse.
Attorneys for Calabrese and his objector, Pat Devaney, were on hand to state their cases.
Devaney originally filed his objection Apr. 14 on the grounds that Calabrese's campaign failed to file a certificate of committee organization.
Calabrese's attorney, on his part, said the certificate is the responsibility of the Republican party and, moreover, was indeed filed.
Calabrese's attorney, John Maloney, said he expects the objection to be withdrawn.
No decision was made by the board, but a second hearing is scheduled for May 2.

If you thought Frank was going to be taken seriously, I have a bridge to sell you! Frank is going to fight an uphill battle because he is the minimum age, not really from here, a student, and a Republican. (Continued…)
